Following the completion of the desired training course, which includes online modules as well as a
face-to-face IT system training session, GPs can book in for ‘flexible’
shifts during Monday to Friday 8am-7pm and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays when
the service is available.
The news comes as Pulse reported last month on a new online service offering patients 10-minute online GP consultations via video link for £25 per session. The new service – called Push Doctor – has a network of more than 7,000 GPs who are available from 6am to
10pm for appointments, and works via a downloadable app.
